Due to the advantages of the vehicle concept, a wide range of applications in different fields of public transport is possible. The AutoTram® Extra Grand is a cost-efficient alternative to conventional transport systems if a high capacity, low environmental impact and above average flexibility are required.
Supplement to conventional buses
- Lower environmental impact
- Higher transport capacity
- Low track width requirements
- Higher flexibility
Alternative to trolley buses
- Comparable environmental standards
- Lower infrastructure costs
- Higher transport capacity
- More suitable for deviations
Alternative to light rail concepts
- Comparable environmental standards and transport capacity
- Significantly lower infrastructure costs
- Distinctly lower life cycle costs
Supplement to bus rapid transit systems
- Efficient public transport system
- High manoeuvrability
- Cost-efficient, flexible and environment-friendly
The rollout of the AutoTram® Extra Grand - funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) within the program »Innovative Regional Growth Cores« - took place on March 27th, 2012, in Ehrenhain on the premises of Göppel Bus GmbH. (photo)
